Ray Qartomy Leads Final 23 In Card Player Poker Tour Wynn Championship EventErick Lindgren Eliminated On Money Bubble |

Ray Qartomy
It wasn’t until the money bubble approached during the final level of the night that the players began to take a more conservative approach. With a min-cash of $12,047 on the line and some of the players already into the tournament for multiple $5,000 buy-ins, making the money, not building a massive chip stack, became the priority.
However, while the short stacks did their best to hold on, there were some players who had no trouble mixing it up in an effort to make a run at the final table. Ray Qartomy, who spent the day battling the flu, still managed to mix in an assortment of well-timed bluffs and value bets en route to the overnight chip lead with 755,000. Following close behind was Tom Marchese and Ray Dehkharghani.
Erick Lindgren
In the end, someone had to go home empty handed as the tournament’s official bubble boy. That person was none other than Erick Lindgren, who had the unfortunate luck of rivering a set of kings against Marchese’s turned straight.
Notables making it through to day 3 include Brad Booth, Kevin Calenzo, Olivier Busquet, Sam Stein, Christina Lindley, Ben Palmer, Sorel Mizzi and Cary Katz.
